GENTE INSEGURA

Leon FontaineEntregate

Confiar en un traidor en momentos de angustia es como andar con una pierna rota o comer con un diente picado. Proverbios 25:19 (DHH)  Si usted se rompe un diente y la raíz está expuesta, es increíblemente doloroso, pero no es nada comparado con el dolor que usted experimenta si muerde con él. Lo mismo ocurre con un pie roto. El dolor se vuelve insoportable si intenta soportar en él su peso.  Las personas no confiables e inseguras causan dolor si usted intenta confiar en ellas. Al igual que un pie roto, no se puede confiar en ellos para apoyarse. Debido a que nuestro mundo está lleno de personas seguras e inseguras, es vital conocer la diferencia.  Según Safe People de Henry Cloud y John …

IS IT TIME YOU GOT STIRRED UP?

Further, David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, for all of them were embittered, each man for his sons and daughters. But David felt strengthened and encouraged in the Lord his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 (AMP) Have you ever felt like nobody was there for you? David experienced this first-hand. In 1 Samuel 30, he and his men returned to their village, only to discover the Amalekites had burned it to the ground and kidnapped their wives and children. They were beside themselves with grief and fear.  When fear is the predominant emotion in our lives, we will lose emotional control and react with anger. We’ll make wrong decisions almost every time because fear misguides us, and that’s exactly what happened …

HOW DOES WAITING ON THE LORD HELP?

Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord! Psalm 27:14 (NKJV) Regularly spending time in God’s presence makes a significant impact on how you live. If there’s any question, just look at the life of David, the one who lived out—and then wrote—the words of today’s psalm.  After all, what would cause a young shepherd boy to get up and take on a giant enemy when none of Israel’s trained soldiers would? (See 1 Samuel 17.)  One reason is that he spent time daily in God’s presence, singing, worshipping and talking with Him. Another reason is that he had a proven track record of acting courageously against predators while protecting his flocks of …

MÁS DE DIOS

Pero tú eres santo; tú reinas, alabado por Israel. Salmos 22:3 (DHH)  Dios es eterno; Su existencia no tiene principio ni final. Aunque eso es difícil de entender, nos sentimos atraídos hacia lo eterno. Eclesiastés 3:11 (NKJV) dice que Dios “ha puesto la eternidad” en nuestros corazones, dándonos la necesidad de sentir lo eterno. Vivir con solo esta vida en mente no es suficiente para satisfacernos. Fuimos hechos para mucho más. A menudo tratamos de llenar la necesidad por la eternidad de otras maneras. Algunos intentan llenarla con relaciones; otros van tras el éxito o la fama, pero regresan vacíos. Incluso si hemos tomado la decisión de seguir a Jesús, no es suficiente. Es una decisión increíble que cambia la vida, que altera la eternidad, …

HOW CAN YOU TELL YOU HAVE COURAGE?

Leon FontaineDevoted

So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord! Psalm 31:24 (NLT) Courage works similarly to faith—it requires action to show it’s alive. We can sit around declaring we have faith all we want, but James 2:14–18 basically says, “My actions show that I have faith.”  Choosing courage works the same way. You can’t just say, “Look at me! I’m courageous!” Much like faith, you can tell by someone’s actions whether they have it or not. And here’s something that most people don’t realize: choosing to be courageous in situations draws your attention to God’s strength in your heart. Until you commit to walking out something with faith and courage, fear can keep you paralyzed in the shadows. That’s why …
